How can I fix an appwiz.cpl is corrupt problem?

I am running Windows 7 Service Pack 1 Professional on an HP workstation.

My computer has been set up to automatically install updates

I have anti virus installed = Macaffe and it is up-to-date.

My network printer has stopped working on the workstation, so I did a search and came up with a difficulty that says to turn on the Windows Firewall on and reinstall the network printer. I couldn't turn off the firewall, so I looked in my event log to see if there was something there.

The event log shows that there is an update, but the Update Manager has been altered.

I downloaded the update Fix - it program, and he could not solve the problem.

I did a system restore to a date earlier, when updates were not working and tried to check the updates. I couldn't do that.

I ran SFC could not fix all the problems, I posted the CBS and it shows that Appwiz.cpl could not be fixed.

I have another copy of W7 on my computer, but this is for a few years I started.

HP installs a system on the computer disk and I don't have the original HP diskettes to initialize and install all programs provided CV.

I have more than 60 programs installed on your computer and another 80 GB of data I don't want to lose.

I called Microsoft and they want to sell me a service plan. They said it's a registry problem.

How can I fix this without destroying all my programs and data?

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the update and good to hear that the problem has been resolved. I appreciate the effort made by you in order to solve the problem.

Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

Have a great day!

    Refresh (called "Reset" in older versions of Firefox) can solve a lot of problems in restaurant Firefox as his default factory while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.

    Note: When you use this feature, you will lose all the extensions, toolbar customizations, and certain preferences. See article Firefox Refresh - reset modules and parameters for more information.

    Refresh for Firefox:

      • Click the menu button

        click Help

        and select troubleshooting information. Should open a new tab containing your troubleshooting information.

      • If you are unable to access the Help menu, type Subject: support in your address bar to bring up the troubleshooting information page.
    2. At the top right of the page, you should see a button that says 'Refresh Firefox' ('reset Firefox' in older versions of Firefox). Click on it.
    3. Firefox closes. Once the update process is complete, Firefox will display a window with the imported information.
    4. Click Finish and reopen Firefox.

  • How can I fix my "iDRAC is not ready' problems?

    We have a PowerEdge R420 running a server VMware ESXi 5.1 in RAID mode.
     
    We had a power failure which resulted in obtaining R420 one ' SWC0700: iDRAC is not ready "error.  Our version of setting iDRAC is 1.30.30.27.  I found the report on the iDRAC reset and update the firmware of the iDRAC with this version and error state.  Following suggestions to disconnect power cables, USB cables and then keeping the power button for 15 seconds until not clearly the problem.  Boots following this process had the same error of SWC0700.

    I created an OSMA7.1 DVD boot and I tried to install, a USB drive, different versions of newer than 1.30 iDRAC, but every time that the system has reported/proc/ipmi/0 /: file not found (or something similar that I'm going on memory here).

    I needed the system upward, so I pressed F1 to continue to run.  The system seems well except that the fans turn at high speed.

    I saw another post on the button of the iDRAC for 15 seconds to reset the iDRAC, and I tried with the system in place and is functioning normally.  This did nothing for the speed of the fan, so I guess it has no effect on iDRAC.

    I installed the COnsole of Administration Dell, on the ESXi virtual machine in the hope of launching an upgrade of firmware iDRAC of this virtual machine, but I couldn't connect to vCenter, which is probably because I don't have a VCenter server, only two servers ESXi 5.1 - I think I misread the DELL site thought this could work somehow for me.

    Now, I think the performance of the ISO bootable, I found on this Web page: www.dell.com/.../SLN296511
    My fear is that something can go wrong, and I'm losing my server installation.

    If I put my confidence in the ISO bootable update?  Should I call Dell support - I am about 4 months out of warranty repair technician on-site - and plan to replace my motherboard as I read in other posts on this forum?  The motherboard can be replaced without altering my ESXi installation?

    I'm worried that runs the server with a "iDRAC is not ready" error will burn the server, or do anything else that will ruin the server.  Should I still worry about this?

    Thanks for the advice and suggestions in advance.

    The f

    It sounds like the replacement of parts is necessary. There is not a way to export the configuration of the BIOS. The fee for a replacement of tech is usually $299 for servers, plus the cost of the system board. I'm not sure what would be an extension of one year on the guarantee.

  • After I have updated to ios 10.0.1 my apps update bricks. How can I fix it?

    After that I update to iOS 10.0.1, my apps started the update, but it brick and I can't stop the update, I can't use apps and I can't even delete apps. Please how can I fix it. It is so boring.

    Thanks for help. Kevin

    First (and easiest) is a reboot or a forced reboot:

    Restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support

    Next (and more radical) would be a restore from a backup, then restore it like new:

    Restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support

    Use iTunes on your Mac or PC to restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod settings - Apple Support
